(Never) Too Many Tights

To me, tights are something of a super accessory because they can make or break an outfit and keep you warm. (Show me a handbag that can do that.) With so many colors, textures, and patterns to choose from, it's no wonder that I've built up such a store of them over the years. I have two hat boxes so crammed with the things that they pop up like those dreaded worms in a can whenever I crack the lids. Yet even with such a collection, I get all misty-eyed when I discover a rogue hole or snag. Especially if it's somewhere conspicuous (read: embarrassing) and I'm unarmed with clear nail polish.

Really? That's odd. I get most of mine at J. C. Penney's, Kohl's, Marshalls, or online. We Love Colors, www.welovecolors.com, is a really good site for unusual tights. They are on the expensive side, though, and tend to run a little big.

That's not a bad idea. (I've certainly adopted it for my personal handmade jewelry!) But I think I've grown weirdly accustomed to seeing my tights in a colorful tangle, so I'll probably continue to let them run free :)

A Few Words . . .

Hello there! My name is Tracy, and I hail from beautiful Brigantine, New Jersey. I run an Etsy shop, The Tote Trove, where I sell (mostly) jewelry and (a handful of) hand-painted totes. So, who is this blog for? (Or, if you're a stickler for such things [for which I am not], then for whom is this blog?) Pop culture fans, night owls, actual owls, shopaholics, bookworms, couch potatoes, crazy craft ladies, people who never stopped playing dress-up, people who never stopped playing period, and self-absorbed people who are entertained by the self absorption of others. Thanks for reading!
